Hello,
I hope you can answer this question for me.
I exported the VTK 2d vector image through Comsol.I want to rework the vector images by doing paraview.But you end up with a different image than you had in comsol.
This picture is what I want it to look like.But after paraview opens it, it becomes what it looks like below
I hope to get your help and guidance.
Thank you.

The following is my data set for your guidance

I added a part of the data set so you don’t have to download the previous file

Can you share a statefile or a screenshot of your pipeline browser ?

Can you share your .vtu ? How do you create this .vtu file ?

I think the main problem is that you need to set the `Orientation Array` for the `Glyph` filter. If the `Glyph` filter is not letting you set the `Orientation Array`, then you probably first have to [create a vector from scalar fields using the calculator filter](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Advanced_Tips_and_Tricks#Creating_vectors_from_2_or_3_scalars).
I could not read your text file into ParaView directly, but I was able to process it enough to make a csv file that I got into ParaView. Below are a state file that demonstrates your data with orientated glyphs and the data file I loaded into ParaView.

Here is the output I got:
